An Adrian man accused of giving police a false story about the whereabouts of three missing Morenci boys waived a preliminary examination Monday in Lenawee County District Court. Robert Joseph Jamison, 50, was bound over to circuit court for arraignment Wednesday, Sept. 11. He remains in the Lenawee County Jail, where he has been held since his arrest in May in an unrelated case.

Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks said he interviewed Jamison at the jail on May 22 after he made claims of having information on the 2010 disappearance of Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton. Weeks said the information Jamison gave him turned out to be false.

He was arraigned Aug. 30 in district court on a felony charge of lying to police in the investigation of a violent crime. Jamison is also awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in July to lying to police about being shot at by a man he owed money to in Adrian.
